The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Diana Rigg
- You hand the baton on, and that’s why roles like ‘Medea’ resonate for years and years, as each new actor comes to it.
- Once, when I was playing a nude scene in an indifferent play in New York, a critic wrote, ‘Diana Rigg is built like a brick basilica with too few flying buttresses.’ Do you think that’s fair?
- The older you get, I have to say, the funnier you find life. That’s the only way to go.
- Some of those early photographs of me might as well be sepia. It’s always thought that I disclaim television and am too theatre, but the truth is ‘The Avengers’ bores me now. I was grateful because it catapulted me into stage stardom. It was good. I’m not ashamed of it. But I only did it for two years.
- There were no prototypes for me – the telly was full of little blonde juveniles.
- I cry all the time. Remembrance Day in particular. In fact, anything to do with veterans makes me sob.
- I was very, very young, living in India. I’d been put to bed in the afternoon, and I had that lovely feeling you have when you’re about to nod off. I remember the yellow curtains of the room blowing in the wind and feeling blissfully happy and content.
- If it were said that I didn’t fulfil my potential as a mother and wife, I’d be heartbroken. But if it were said that I hadn’t fulfilled my potential as an actress, I would understand the reasons why.
- Mostly what you remember and enjoy are the scenes you played with people. And quite often, they’re the combative scenes!
- Classes were incredibly boring. I took to dreaming. They took to punishing me. I was always working off punishments for not doing what I was supposed to do.
